At last I have some ProTaper bars, will return soon with some installation pictures. As always there is a slight problem, on both sides of the original bars there is a small hole for the electirc start and blinker modules to slide into as shown in the pictures below.

After running the performance baffle from www.ballards.cc on my old DRZ I decided to give the new DRZ a new full exhaust system. It was a hard decision and I almost went with a full barrett system but when they explained that the only difference with their header unit was that it was made from stainless I decided to go with just a muffler.

From memory I believe the barrett was 97db and with that information I changed my mind and got the DEP System3 for only $499 and 94db, it is made out of aluminium and stainless tubing which is a great weight saver over the original exhaust. I don't know what the original exhaust is in decibels but 94db sounds a lot louder (just ask my neighbours) but it is worth it for the extra couple of horsepower.

Here is a recording I did using an iphone shoved in my jacket pocket it's not the best quality but it gives some indication how the DEP S3 sounds. Click here to listen
